EVERY Wednesday Machines will be serviced (and scissors sharpened) IN  the store. What this means is you could wait as little as one day.  Machines can still be dropped off or picked up anytime during our open hours.

You do not need an appointment, just bring your machine in any time. The best plan would be to drop off before 11 am on Wednesday (or Monday or Tuesday is even better)
Plan to pick your machine up LATE on Wednesday – You will get a call as soon as your machine is ready to go.

Gardom Lake Retreat (Spring)
Tickets
Apr 25 – Apr 28 all-day

The Thread & Paper Spring 2024 retreat will be happening April 25-28th, at Gardom Lake. We are so excited to be back sewing with all of you. Please find our face book group “Thread & Paper Quilt Retreats” if you are on Facebook.

You can plan arrive Thursday any time after 10am, your retreat fee includes dinner on Thursday, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. We would like to have everyone cleared out by 3:00 on Sunday afternoon.

The price is $400, we do appreciate everyone getting their $50 deposit down early, and we have reached maximum capacity in the past, so its a good idea to have it done and hold your spot.

When you put your $50 non-refundable deposit down, it is non-refundable, not for cash, not for store credit, or anything else. This holds your spot in the retreat and comes off the final price. Full payment is due 1 month before the retreat.

We are counting on having a large group this time, and because Gardom Lake has expanded their kitchen, bathrooms and other common areas they are able to accommodate more people.  More people, more fun, more jokes, more inspiration! 

We will have some people quilting upstairs and some downstairs, and there will be some people in cabins and some in the lodge. The first 30 people who sign up will be upstairs and sleeping in the lodge, everyone after that will be sewing downstairs and sleeping in a cabin. The cabins are lovely and they have their own bathrooms so there really is no advantage or disadvantage to where you sleep or sew. The food is delicious and the company is great, everyone who is out there is there to have a good time with a positive attitude. 

There will be no private rooms available but sometimes it is possible to book a private cabin for a $50 fee, otherwise count on sharing a room with 4-5 other people, as always we will take requests so you can sew and room with your friends.

Please make sure we have a current email address for you, as this is how we send out our reminders and supply lists just before the retreat.

please call or email with any questions info@threadandpaper.com
